Reddit is planning a revenue sharing system where people can earn for their posting/commenting, sunsetting the awards yesterday is part of delivering it.

I can confirm this is probably happening because some of their staff are leaky leaky among certain groups. Unless they cancel which I doubt.

I have suspicions that it might even be crypto related, they actively pursued a reddit blockchain thing at one point in the past before sacking the main person responsible halfway through the job with 1 week notice.

Predictions on how this turns out?

Lol this is going to ruin reddit even more. I mean, people are shameless already for internet points that mean nothing. Insert actual monetary incentives ans its just going to be even more shit.
